| And may God Bless America.
And according to some sources, Obama is not the first with African American blood to hold that esteemed office... LOL |

We are a resilient people, and I hope the best for us all. History has truly been made tonight. We will have to wait and see what direction President Obama takes us in. I am hoping for good changes. |

| I am so happy. It is about time. The man has a brain. and actually talks --doesn't just spout cilches
I don't think we can get much worse off--two wars, a failing economy, loss of respect around the world.
It is time for somethng different.
God bless America! |

| Hopefully Obama brings the change America needs. It'll be good to get away from the Bush doctrine after eight years. |

| My son is excited. I am excited.
I think it is partly my Chicago upbringing, my mother having worked at a social service agency in that city as Obama did, my social work background, and my deep desire for health care for, at the very least, every child in this nation.
I see Obama as a courageous person who won't rule by fear.
And I also see John McCain as an honorable man.
Eight years ago my son called me at 3:00 AM, telling me I had to get up and watch TV, that the election was contested and history was being made.
At least his call was a little earlier last night, and the election was not contested. Yesterday was a great day, with few glitches in our election system, and enthusiasm and unity.
